Being curious, he took advantage of his invisible cap, and when she opened the door he slipped in behind her. Nothing was to be seen but a large door, which, after shutting and locking the outer one, the servant opened. Again Prince Bahramgor slipped in behind her, and again saw nothing but a huge door.
That is all I can do for you, but Nanak Chand, who is my elder brother, can help you farther on your way. So Prince Bahramgor travelled through Demonsland, and because he held the magic wand in his hand day and night, no harm came to him.
At last he asked Prince Bahramgor what was the cause of his growing so pale and sighing so often for so amiable was the young man that he would rather have died of grief than have committed the rudeness of telling his host he was longing to get away; but when he was asked he said piteously, 'Oh, good demon! let me go home and see my father the King, my mother the Queen, my horse and my hound, for I am very weary.
'Do not be alarmed, my son, returned the wee old man; 'it is true you are in Demonsland, but no one shall hurt you, for I am the demon Jasdrul whose life you saved when I was on the earth in the shape of a golden deer. Then the demon Jasdrul took Prince Bahramgor to his house, and treated him right royally, giving him a hundred keys, and saying, 'These are the keys of my palaces and gardens.
Then he appointed the Prince to be his heir, and the faithful Prince Bahramgor and his beautiful bride lived happily ever afterwards in the Emerald kingdom. Once upon a time, a very old woodman lived with his very old wife in a tiny hut close to the orchard of a rich man, so close that the boughs of a pear-tree hung right over the cottage yard.

Nevertheless, the Prince thought it best first to consult his host, the demon Jasdrul, seeing how powerful he was in Demonsland.

In the evening when Prince Bahramgor returned from hunting, great was his grief at finding the garret empty! Nor could the blind old crone tell him much of what had occurred; still, when he heard of the mysterious voice which whispered, 'I go to my father's house in the Emerald Mountain, he was at first somewhat comforted.
To the young man's delight, the demon not only gave his consent, but appeared greatly pleased, rubbing his hands and saying, 'Now you will remain with me and be so happy that you will never think of returning to your own country any more. So Prince Bahramgor and the Fairy Princess Shahpasand were married, and lived ever so happily, for ever so long a time.
He wandered about for some time looking for the trace of a house or a footprint, when suddenly from the ground at his feet popped a wee old man. 'How did you come here? and what are you looking for, my son? quoth he politely. So Prince Bahramgor told him how he had ridden thither on a golden deer, which had disappeared, and how he was now quite lost and bewildered in this strange country.
